Classixx

Classixx is the Los Angeles-based electronic music duo comprised of childhood friends Michael David and Tyler Blake. Known for their blend of disco, funk, house, and pop, they emerged in the late 2000s with a sound that evoked both nostalgia and forward-thinking dance music sensibilities. The duo began their collaboration after sharing a passion for crate-digging and analog synthesizers, leading to their first wave of blog-era remixes for artists like Phoenix, Major Lazer, and Holy Ghost!.

Their breakout moment came with the release of their debut album, **Hanging Gardens** (2013), which featured dancefloor staples such as “Holding On” and “All You’re Waiting For” (feat. Nancy Whang). Their melodic and uplifting productions quickly earned them critical acclaim and festival slots around the world.

Classixx’s ability to bridge genres and decades became their trademark, infusing their releases with vintage influences while retaining a modern, optimistic energy. The duo followed up with **Faraway Reach** (2016), a record that further solidified their reputation by including collaborations with artists like T-Pain, Passion Pit, and How to Dress Well. Their remixes and DJ sets are equally celebrated, known for smooth transitions between classic sounds and contemporary edits, making them favorites in both club and festival circuits.

Classixx remains a mainstay in modern dance music, consistently exploring new territory while staying true to their roots in analog production and warm, melodic songwriting. Their growth from remix artists to respected producers and DJs highlights a career defined by creative curiosity, technical prowess, and a genuine love for uplifting dance music.
